Definitions
- This invention pertains to a fitment for being sealed to a collapsible pouch.
- the fitment has a novel shape, which enables the fitment to be molded from a polymeric material that can be sealed to the collapsible pouch, in a simple, two-part mold that can be opened by simple, uniaxial, straight-pull movements of the mold parts relative to one another, along a line of action perpendicular to a parting interface between the mold parts, and without any side-action mold action.
- a collapsible pouch for containing any of a wide variety of food, beverage, personal care, household care, or other similar or dissimilar products, either in liquid form or in paste form, is made from a flexible, heat-sealable, polymeric sheet or from a flexible, paperboard or metal foil sheet having a heat-sealable, polymeric lining, and has two opposed, flexible web portions sealed to one another so as to define an interior region, which is adapted to contain such a product, and so as to define an opening, which opens to the interior region.
- the opening is adapted to receive a fitment, which may incorporate a dispensing valve, a removable cover, or other similar or dissimilar features and which is molded from a polymeric material that can be heat-sealed to the web portions of the collapsible pouch.
- a fitment which may incorporate a dispensing valve, a removable cover, or other similar or dissimilar features and which is molded from a polymeric material that can be heat-sealed to the web portions of the collapsible pouch.
- a base of the fitment has two side walls, which converge at two opposed ends of the fitment and which are oriented vertically when the fitment is oriented vertically.
- each side wall has a series of spaced ribs, which project from such side wall and to which an associated one of the web portions of such a collapsible pouch can be heat-sealed.
- This invention provides a fitment, which has a novel configuration, for being sealed to a collapsible pouch having two opposed web portions sealed to one another so as to define an interior region and so as to define an opening, which opens to the interior and which is adapted to receive the fitment when the fitment is sealed to the collapsible pouch.
- the fitment has a body having at least one side wall portion, which is provided with spaced steps defining spaced shoulders.
- the body of the fitment has an inner end, which faces the interior of the collapsible pouch when the fitment is sealed to the collapsible pouch, and an outer end.
- the body of the fitment defines a reference plane, which is defined preferably by an outer periphery of a selected one of the inner and outer ends of the body of the fitment.
- the body of the fitment defines a range of peripheral dimensions, each of which is measured around one of the spaced steps or around one of the spaced shoulders, in a plane that is located at one of the inner and outer ends or between the inner and outer ends and that coincides with or is parallel to the reference plane.
- the peripheral dimensions increase from a smallest dimension at or toward one such end, through intermediate dimensions which between the inner and outer ends do not decrease after increasing, to a largest dimension at or toward the other end.
- the novel configuration of the body of the fitment enables the body of the fitment to be molded in a simple, two-part mold that can be opened by simple, uniaxial, straight-pull movements of the mold parts relative to one another, along a line of action perpendicular to the parting interface, without any side-action mold action.
- the body of the fitment has a boat-shaped periphery defining two opposite edges and two opposite side wall portions, each having such steps defining such shoulders.
- the body of the fitment has a fin projecting from each of the opposite edges. The projecting fins, if included, are excluded from the peripheral measurements discussed above.
- each shoulder has a sealing surface for sealing to one of the web portions of the collapsible pouch when the fitment is received by the opening of the collapsible pouch, the sealing surfaces tapering from one of the inner and outer ends of the fitment toward the other end of the fitment. If the sealing surfaces taper inwardly from the inner end toward the outer end, the peripheral dimension is largest at or toward the inner end and smallest at or toward the outer end. If the sealing surfaces taper inwardly from the outer end toward the inner end, the peripheral dimension is largest at or toward the outer end and smallest at or toward the inner end.
